Nice diner. Fresh food. Parking available.Staff is friendly. Hood place to take your mom!
Great serviceClean restaurantFriendly people :)Food was tasty
Good friends, good food, good service! Great seasonal decor!
Nice Portion Sizes, friendly staff, great local diner
Good service, good food, good portions. I should have asked for extra bread so I could have made 2 sandwiches out of 1. Blueberry pancakes were perfect. My wife loved her steak and eggs.I was disappointed with the coleslaw (too sweet)We will be coming back
Food and service was excellent.great menu!!👍👍👍
I loved my Napoleon to go. It was fresh, the pastry crisp and easy to cut. The man was very helpful with napkins and plastic utensils. The menu looked very exciting to me. The dining room looked very people focused, community focused and the prices looked inexpensive. I hope to return to eat a whole meal.
The whole experience was wonderful.. the new decor is very nautical.. very clean the staff is very friendly and has patience of a saint.The food is super fresh.Its a must go to for a quick lunch or a girls day out.
Very good food, so much had to take half home. Lunch for tomorrowGreat service, my in-laws like to go all the time.
Friendly staff, patient and quick. Food was served hot, cooked well, nicely portioned and in a cute dish! Will return in the future.
The Manager of the diner, when I was their on August 26, 2021 have an air conditioning setting of 75°F. When asked why the dining room so warm, He replied that he was trying to save energy bills. I suggest eating at this place sometime in the winter. The waiter was very apologetic.
Great food, good atmosphere and an excellent staff make this one of my favorite diners in the area. The location is great for walking through town or to the ice cream place across the way.
Would have rated it higher except for one of the bathrooms was out of order and there was only one bathroom left for use. My wife liked her hamburger, I think Monte Cristo was too large.
Excellent diner ... food & service are excellent!
Delicious French toast. Like many other restaurants, waitress/waiters hard to get. If you are patient you will be rewarded with great food.
The food was excellent and served fast. All of the different items we ordered tasted good and the gyro plate really had good taking meat. The Greek salad was everyones as were all of the other salads and the side Greek salad was the size of a typical dinner plate. The children fish and chips and chicken tenders were all good and had huge serving sizes. The service was great and extremely friendly.
Breakfast was great price even better ☕️ nice place and good customer service.
Lovely Diner
Food was so good and fast service Def great for families and friends
Our server could not be more bothered to serve us from the get-go. We had all put in our original orders, and she returned shortly to tell us they only had two orders of the Yankee pot roast dinner when we had ordered three. No problem there, we were ready to order something else as that’s not a big deal. One of the ladies with us asked her if they had the meat loaf instead, and the waitress responded, “I’ll go check.” When she returned, she had brought our table a few coffees that we had ordered, and not only did she not tell us if they had the meatloaf or not, she had put in the order for the meatloaf without finalizing our orders. When we told her what we had chosen to replace the third dinner with something else, she seemed frustrated because of her own mistake and said, “Well, I already put the order in for the meatloaf.” We just decided that was fine because it was starting to get busy as we showed up at 6pm on a Saturday night, and we wanted to help her out. The food was decent diner food, nothing to write home about, but nothing we didn’t half expect. Everything was lukewarm though and that was disappointing. Our dinners came with dessert included and when it was time, and we asked her for our options, she actually rolled her eyes and sighed as if she couldn’t be bothered to do her job and answer the simple question. We ordered one chocolate cake, one cherry pie, and one carrot cake. She brought out rice pudding instead of the chocolate cake. Since the waitress was rude on top of her messing up our orders more than once, we will not be returning any time soon if at all.
Corn beef hash was terrible, didnt even taste like hash, couldnt eat it. Pancakes tasted awful and bacon was practically raw. Will not be going back !
Welcoming host, friendly and accommodating staff, very warm atmosphere, all of the food is top notch, prices are more than reasonable, handicap accessible and very easy parking. By far, one of the BEST diners I have been and on my favorites.
The diner has many options to choose from but I noticed the gyro platter meat and the half chicken my husband ordered were overcooked. Clean and prompt service.
Service was good, my waffle was good, but sitting down one of our forks was dirty, ok that was easily changed. When we received our coffee they had little milk cups, pouring one was fine but when I went to put a second one in it had mold in it and I had poured some into my coffee, gross. My husbands eggs were cold so was my waffle, so sorry I cant give any more stars.
Great food, decent price, polite service. They need to bring back the chick pea salad immeeeediately though - it is SO good and such a shame they paused making it. I would definitely pay for it!
Will love to bring my family back here again. Our first time here at a peak Sunday brunch time.Our party of 6 was seated in less than 10 minutes, the service was fast and accurate. We had no problems and all 6 of us enjoyed our meals
I love this Diner. Excellent food ambience and service!
Super impressed how good the food was, had the seafood primavera under Friday diner. Huge portion of grilled shrimps and scallops, sauce was well made and flavorful. Definitely best dinner food I ever had.
Great food, great service
Its a good diner. They have gluten free!Thats rare on Long Island! We live in NYC but restaurants are not open. We are relived that restaurants are open on Long Island but having a real gluten allergy it is more of a relief to find a restaurant with gluten free options!
Very crowded on Saturday but very short waiting time. Huge restaurant with all kinds of seating. Bar also has many seats if you dont want to wait. Waitor has very good attitude. Blasting fast service and delicious food! Parking lot is too small.
The food is excellent.Great service.Highly recommend.
The food was good. The atmosphere more intimate than other diners. Servers were friendly. Long Island and most NYC diners are overpriced and it was a bit pricey to eat here.
This diner is ok. Passable if youre in a pinch but honestly not that great. Other nearby diners have menus that are much more extensive. My relatives fries came out soggy. They were very accommodating to bring out a new plate of fries very quickly. However, the new fries were just as soggy. My wrap wasnt bad, about what youd expect. But, 2 dollars extra for salad instead of fries is a bit much. I like the booths in this diner and that they give you chickpeas before your food.
Always a great meal at the Williston Townhouse Dinner. Excellent staff and food. Delicious Onion Soup, crisp salads, gyros, burgers, lamb chops, fish sandwiches, and more. No matter when you go, what you order, it is always good!
Too bad I have to give one star, worst pancakes ever, worst bacon ever, I dont know if that was maple syrup or cough medicine, attention was lame. Sorry but theres a lot to improve there.
Have been going there for years,food and service always good.
Ordered toast and 2 eggs sunny side up eggs. 10 min later still waiting. Place half empty. I’ll just cook at home next time. Sooo not worth it it as the server is paying attention to every other table. Suppose she thinks I won’t tip. Meanwhile I’ll tip the whole bill! It’s cheap! Just wanted to be on my way. Don’t bother if you’re actually hungry!!I feel disrespected and less than human. Terrible!Then manager insisted her staff was right. Made me pay full amount. Insisted was wrong.Horrendous
Great food big portions service is always on point.
Great dinner. Good food. Nice service and most of all not very crowded. Surprisingly a lot of the dinners in Nassau county are crowded for no apparent reason. It is refreshing to just take your family to a cozy neighborhood diner that has plenty of parking. This is my first time here but definitely wont be my last. If you plan to come here, please try their corn beef hash. Delicious!
Worker was rude and gave me and my friend dirty looks. When I asked for the menu again she hesitated making me feel fat. Bacon was horrible and you could see through it. There was an ant in my friends food.
Food is high quality, large portions and service is excellent - both the server and manager ask how youre doing and provide whatever you need. Highly recommend.
Looked nice from outside, and just got better and better as you walk in, order and eat. Food comes in generous portions, delicious and well prepared. Reasonably priced and great atmosphere. Would definitely go again when I have a chance.
I was surprised and unhappy that they did not have any unsweetened iced tea, nor any flavored seltzer water, and not even a fresh lime for my plain seltzer water!
This is my favorite diner! Great food, excellent customer service from the staff. The owners are awesome too! Highly recommended.
Great for Gluten Free People who like wraps. Comes with sides but youre flexible and theyre really good. I dont know why more diamonds dont do that. By the way service is good too
Got horribly sick at this place. My boyfriend and I both had different entrees but both had fries and they must never clean their frying oil because we had severe stomach issues for days (to the point of calling out of work).I also had the veggie wrap which was so steaming hot I couldnt even eat it for atleast 20 minutes, and it was terrible because it made the wrap so soggy. Very limited other options for vegetarians.
Everybody in our party really enjoyed the meal that they got. We were extremely impressed as they continued to give us little extras on the table. It was a wee bit pricey for a diner but I would definitely go back.
Really good Greek dinner. Service is quick and the food is excellent. No where else in the area can you get cheese fries and a glass of wine at 3 in the morning!
Very pleasant diner on Hillside Ave, been there a few times, never disappointed. Standard diner fare with TVs around for sport fans. We were there round 6pm on a Sunday evening and it appears evening parking is available in the next door banks parking lot during non-bank hours. Otherwise the small diner parking lot and street metered parking are available. Cash or credit OK, appears clean and well maintained.
This is my go to spot whenever I visit my family in New Hyde Park.If youre out for typical diner fare, such as Burgers, Eggs etc... this place is like most other diners - except it is always packed with customers. What does that tell you???Where they really excel is in their lunch and dinner specials. The portions are huge, the quality of the food is consistently good, lots of varieties to choose from as well.The staff is always friendly and service is usually prompt, except they can be slow during rushes, so you have to give them a break all you snob reviewers.This is the best diner on the North Shore, as evidenced by all the repeat customers. Whenever Im there I see people I know at more than one table.Great Onion Rings, the best Chicken Salad, solid half pound burgers, Greek and Mediterranean style dinners, friendly owners who know all their customers - what else can you ask for in a diner?
They claim to be open 24 hrs on Saturday night but we arrived there at 2am and they gave us attitude for being there, sat us at a table but made it clear they didn’t want us there so we left. Feeling unwanted we decided to go to a superior establishment titled Carl place diner and had wonderful service. Do not go to williston townhouse diner.
Came here for Christmas dinner. Standard diner menu was available as well as a special menu for the day. My partner ordered the turkey dinner and it was piled HIGH with meat. I had the broiled pork chops with peppers, onions and mushrooms in a Hunter sauce. Sauce was good but chops were on the dry side. In defense of the diner, the meat was very lean as most pork chops are these days so its hard to have a tender chop when there is no marbeling through the meat.All in all, a peaceful Christmas dinner with no cooking and no clean-up!!
Really good! I so prefer the look of this place to every other diner, very nice looking. Food was 7.5/10 and service was decent enough. No complaints.
Good solid diner. It is a small, cute place. Very nice waitress as well..I had French onion soup which was excellent and a grilled chicken wrap. Very good ingredients.
The worst ever!! Food is good but the service is slower than molasses!! Be prepared to wait... and also the front cash register employee (the young women) is not able to multi task. I also wonder why the food takes so long- any ideas?
This diner has the best homemade turkey burgers. All white meat and juicy. Prices are average to most diners on long Island. Food is always fresh and served hot. Parking can be an issue at peak hours.
This diner is one of my favorite ones for Sunday brunches or lunch. There are a nice selection of food items, quick service and generous portions. Its busy but there is rarely a long wait as it is a large diner. There is an adjacent parking lot.
Peter P. At the register was rude and unhelpful. We waited for 15 minutes in the lobby only to find out he had lost our to-go order. He had no interest in helping us or communicating with us what the situation was. It was an awful experience and a huge waste of time.
For the most part, the people who work there are very nice and attentive and speak many languages. Portuguese, Spanish, Greek and English. Great food and great portions. Pricey, but worth it. Its all good.
Chicken Quesadilla was spot on. The bread pudding was to die for; tastes like a cinnamon roll with golden raisins. The staff is friendly and courteous.
Friendly staff, food is what you expect from a diner
Food isnt gourmet by any means, but it is surprisingly good for a small diner, and priced fairly. Especially if you happen to be out very late, this place is worth coming to.
Great in town diner. Lots of variety. Clean.Good food and quick service. Excellent breakfast and some good lunch and dinner specials.
Very nice place, we went for dinner special, food was very good and would return any other time to try their other offerings. Can only recommend this diner!
My brother and I were going to see a Met game, and we stopped of here for dinner! The service was outstanding, the food portions were huge and the food was delicious! Great experience, I would highly recommend this restaurant!
Great variety of food. Staff very friendly.Plenty of parking
The Challah French toast was dry. Someone was paying so I was standing behind them, waiting my turn. When they were done and walked away, someone else walked up to the counter on the side and the cashier took their bill first. Gets its a better experience if youre a regular.
Great food....great friendly service 👌
Typical diner fare, clean, comfortable and quick. Youre not allowed to do substitutions with any of your meals, so keep that in mind as youre ordering.
We like this place - great food, fair prices and quick service. Prices have gone up a bit recently, but still an ok value
Food was fantastic, service was great. Thought it was a little pricey but would definitely recommend.
Diner actually has gluten free food deserves a six star.Food was very good and the service was as good as the food.Definitely worth the wait if you have to.
Service was not the best Waitress did not being ice water when asked and forgot juice that came with breakfast She was nowhere to be found with coffee refills. Used to be best diner service around. Has gone downhill
Salmonella accompanies every order of Cole slaw which I had to pay for. Get rid of manager or teach her some customer skills. Why should I have to pay ? It accompanied 1/3 of the plate of the Tunas salad. Mayonnaise spoiled
A large variety of items on the menu that are very generous in regards to portion size. Mozzarella sticks are a must if youre going for a late night snack.
Excellent food & very pleasant staff. We ate outside under a tent & it was terrific.
A great diner with great food. Good, fast service.
Great food and great service, but their parking lot leaves alot to be desired, since the people who work there do not control how people park or the way it was designed I feel that it should not affect their rating.
I loved this place. The food was excellent, and the price was great.
Very ckean. Good pleasant service. Good food.
Quintessential Long Island diner. Not the same as the early 90s when Ginger would jump into the booth with us and tell us jokes while we nursed a bottomless cup of coffee and a plate of cheese fries for 2 hours. All while serenading every booth with the classic Tijuana Taxi by Herb Alpert and his Tijuana Brass on the interconnected juke boxes.The juke boxes are gone, and sadly, so is Ginger, but you can still enjoy some classic disco fries, hot coffee, or just about any other diner staple day and night at this classic diner on Hillside Avenue.
Great food as always. This is a very popular spot with locals. The service is good and there is parking available on the premise.
The service is great and it’s nice. Overpriced for quality of food. Honestly would rather have McDonald’s pancakes and the syrup is trash. 🤷🏽♂️
The service is great and the food is awesome
Went to meet a friend of mine there and we both ordered the French toast with sausage and the sausage was so over cooked and very dry they should have given me a steak knife to cut it
Food was very good, atmosphere was relaxing and the service was fast and friendly.
Breakfast was terrible. Everything was poorly cooked. I had grapefruit juice that was bright pink in color. It must have been made from a powder mix.
Great food, friendly staff.
We sat at a table where we could see the kitchen when the door opens and the food come out. Workers in the kitchen had masks on, but werent wearing them FYI
Food is very good. The Diner was clean service is great and friendly 5 stars.
Food took a long time to come and was somewhat burnt. waiter never checked on us to make sure we needed anything. Pretty displeased.
One if the all time great diners, modernized but still comfortable. Terrific, friendly service. My favorite.
Friendly service. But a bit cramped. Food was OK, but not memorable. Fries and coleslaw were bland.

2021-12-05Located in the beautiful Williston Park, a huge disappointment. Server couldn’t be bothered with telling us the specials. We asked for steak fries, they told us they only had waffle fries. Asked for cheddar cheese on a patty melt, instead we got processed cheese. Asked for Hot open turkey sandwich . I got white slop instead, no flavor very bland. I’m pretty sure the squirrel outside eating the acorn in the tree in front of this establishment is eating better than we are…. AND to top it off we got hit for $60.00. Dog Food is better than what we were served.

2022-02-01My friend lives locally and she frequents this diner. It was my first visit. We both ordered the Chicken Souflaki, a dish I like to order in diners. Here it was exceptionally delicious! The salad was fresh, generous and honestly so good! The grilled chicken, ditto, and so tasty. The salad dressing and the tzaziki fresh and really tasty! And even the pita bread, very very good !! Reasonably priced and very nice service. Zero complaints. A great experience.

2022-02-28Williston Townhouse Diner is still a good place to eat! Its clean, the staff is friendly. I use to go there years ago. I was passing by and stopped in for a bite. Only thing I wasnt happy with was the wait time after being seated. But the food is Good!

2022-04-29One of the few places around open late with good food. My go to is usually the bull burger with the fried egg or sharing a twin bacon cheeseburger platter with a friend. Always friendly service w a smile

2019-05-31We had a good breakfast. The service was phenomenal. Very attentive staff and quick food. I was honestly looking for more of a selection. Coffee is good. Food was good. It’s just not excellent.

2018-03-14We usually come here just for breakfast. The food is good and freshly made. We always go with French fries instead of home fries. And they always come out piping hot. I like corned beef hash and I always ask for it to be cooked to a crisp but no matter where I go, I can never get it that way. The place is clean, the parking has never been a problem for us. Portions are good - we never leave hungry. The price feels a bit high for breakfast, but this seems well within the range for this area. One day we ordered a Caesar salad with chicken to go. It was surprisingly expensive almost $20! Nothing particularly special about it. Well stick to breakfasts.

2022-02-20We found the diner because it was in Google maps... close to Winthrop hospital where we visited a friend. We ordered the Greek chicken wraps which were huge and so well made. We will definitely return if were ever in the area again.

2021-08-22It has gluten free options. The servers are polite. Free refills on soda and it is relatively inexpensive. Since all restaurants are closed in the city we have been going to Long Island and Jersey to eat,

2021-12-17Negative rating if possible. I have been eating at the townhouse forever. Its never been great, but it was reliable food that hit the spot when needed. Tonight was the second time i was absolutely repulsed by the food. Greek salad had puddle of water at the bottom, chicken wings were deep fried and burnt, open trukey sandwhich just plain awful. I should have known better, the last time i ordered a cobb salad and received chopped iceberg, chopped asparagus, tomatoes and cut up chicken. If i was the owner i would make sure the be in the kitchen to make sure the cooks had a clue what yo do. Just awful.
